YetInfluencesSoviet

LONDON,Feb.23:TheCatholicChurcha Russianreligiousscene,despitethefactthat "muchgreaterisolation"thananyothermajor ingtoanexpertonRussiaandcommunism.

WritingintheCatholicInternationalOutlook,Walter J.Kolarzsaidthatthisis notonlybecauseofthe hundredsofCatholicparishes stillinexistenceintheBaltic andtheByelorussianborder areas,butalsobecauseof "Rome'sleadingroleinthe Christianworld."

TheCatholicInternational OutlookistheorganofThe SwordoftheSpirit,Catholicinternationalaffairsorganis-ationheadedbytheCardinal-ArchbishopofWestminster. Itscurrentissueisdevoted tothepresentsituationin Russia,andincludesarticles bySirDavidKelly,former BritishAmbassadorinMoscow,andVictorS.Frank, formerheadoftheBritish BroadcastingCorporation's RussianSection,whoisnow withRadioFreeEurope.

KremlinKnowsIt

Mr.Kolarz,prominentau-thorandbroadcasterinBritainonRussianaffairs,contributesanarticleaccessing "themindsoftheRussian people."

Referringtotheleadership oftheCatholicChurch,he holdsthat"inawaythe Kremlinhasalwaysrecog- nisedthisleadershipbyreservingitsmostviolentantireligiousoutburststothe HolySee."

"ManypeopleinRussia havelearnedthroughthese attacksofthepartwhich Romeistakinginstemming theforcesofmaterialism andatheism,"hecontinued.

"Itmaybehopedthatthis knowledgehasstimulatedthe desireoftheRussianpeople forthroughoutgreaterChristianunity theworldandin Russiaitself."

WhileOrthodox.Armenian andLutheranBishopsand Baptistleadershavebeenallowedtotravelabroad.no Catholic granteddignitaryhasbeen suchpermissionby theSoviets,accordingtoMr. Kolarz.

InformationScarce

Inaddition,hesays,other Christiangroupsareallowed topublishjournalswhich,despitebeingseverelycensored,enabletheoutsideworld togleansomeinformationabouttheirwork.

ButtheCatholicPressis non-existentandthus"informationabouttheCatholic Churchismuchscarcerthan aboutanyothermajorChristiongroupintheSoviet Union."

"AndyetCatholicismhi Russiaisfarfromnegligible," saysMr.Kolar:."Itisthe dominantcreedinoneofthe 18SovietRepublics-Litha-

A.fortheRussianOrthodoxChurch-"thegreatest singleforceofChristianRussia,"Mr.Kolarzassertsthat despitethe"greatmartyrdom"itsuffereduntiltheend ofthe1930's,ithasshown"a mostremarkabletenacity."

"Alwaysatthemercyof theregime,theChurchof

"However,onemustbear inmindthattheRussian OrthodoxChurchoperatesunderthemostdifficultcircumstancesonecanpossibly imagine,andtheweaknesses arisingoutofthat&mem deserveacharitableattitude onthepartofnon-Russian Christians,ratherthanadversecriticism.
